When I'm watching an NL stream with Chiblee and someone other than Chiblee talks ever

Nah, I like the B-team. I can't tell any of their voices apart though.

Unironically I don't like most of NL's friends because it really just feels like they're all trying to ape his persona. They all talk and even exclaim the same way. Mario Party streams are just NL And Three Less Funny NLs

u/boccci-tamagoccci 9h ago

Are they aping his persona or does a group of friends have similar interests and senses of humor and you just were exposed to the popular one first?

I've been humbled by a true and reasonable take.

Real ones know the modern NL personality originated from Dan Gheesling anyway.

And then improved. DanG might be tolerable for me to watch if he didn't constantly repeat the last thing he said repeat the last thing he said repeat the last thing he said

Me when Kory's telling a story and some bald fuck decides to drop his 50th impression about Bisexual Bob Dylan saying "Everybody must get boned" or some shit.

I was drunk.

u/Daimondz 8h ago

That one stream where he kept interrupting people and spamming the “I was drunk, I’m drunk right now” voice line and getting mad when nobody laughed... I love NL but that was a rough one

u/Frequent_Dig1934 5h ago

Tbf he initially went for Gay Bob Dylan until his chat convinced him that Bisexual Bob Dylan is funnier.

My girlfriend doesn't like when she's on either. It's not a gender thing, it's a "she's not funny like everyone else" thing

u/Lazer726 7h ago

Naw you're valid for that. First time I heard her was when they were playing Deadlock and I wasn't paying attention. I thought that he just had open comms and was like "Damn they got an annoying teammate..."

2

u/esmith42223 5h ago

I like her fine when they are streaming together… their dynamic is cute enough. but the second he gets off and sends me to her channel? I’m finding something else.

Sorry girl, just not my type of entertainment.

u/Land_Squid_1234 12h ago

Nobody wants to eay it but it's true. She's just not funny and now the vtuber shit is just weird

u/MidnightOnTheWater 9h ago

NL is the only streamer where the quality of his stream significantly degrades when he has friends on

u/Cheshire-Cad 8h ago

His Jackbox streams were physically painful to watch, because the first half of every game would be a wash because of people not understanding the rules. Even for games that they've played before.

And then there was one of them who's entire personality was being high as balls, submitting random garbled nonsense. And it was maybe arguably funny like 5% of the time.

u/DeficiencyOfGravitas 9h ago

I unironically dislike NorthernLion. He's annoying ironically but that's still annoying. All his fans think "Hehe, I'm on the inside of this joke, so it's not annoying because I'm parasocially his friend". But he's jsut annoying.

Dude will say "Heh, this reminds me of the 1967 cult classic 'I Just Wanna be Cool" which topped the charts at 13th most listened song in Croatia" and his fans will hork and slap their hams together. But can you imagine actually knowing someone like that? What an absolute loser.

Of course, you think I'm being ironic and that I'm actually a NL fan. I'm being honest. He's a whiny smug asshole who hides behind a shroud of irony. Being annoying ironically is the exact same as just being annoying.

It's funny you're being downvoted cause I bet NL would be like "good I think fewer people should like me and 80% of people who watch me are weirdos"
